SkinKnowledgeBase Skincare Question and Answer MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can SkinKnowledgeBase Skincare Question and Answer MCP do?

It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: fetch, get_entity, get_question_bundle, get_ranked_product_for_question, get_ranked_products_for_question, get_sources_for_question and 4 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is SkinKnowledgeBase Skincare Question and Answer MCP mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around ranked and entities. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is SkinKnowledgeBase Skincare Question and Answer MCP working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 117 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists SkinKnowledgeBase Skincare Question and Answer MCP as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect SkinKnowledgeBase Skincare Question and Answer MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does SkinKnowledgeBase Skincare Question and Answer MCP need an API key?

No. SkinKnowledgeBase Skincare Question and Answer MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

Is SkinKnowledgeBase Skincare Question and Answer MCP open source?

We cannot say either way: written in Dockerfile, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
